Synopsis:On June 6, 1944, the Allied Invasion of France marked the beginning of
the end of Nazi domination over Europe. The attack involved 3,000,000
men, 11,000 planes and 4,000 ships, comprising the largest armada the
world has ever seen. The Longest Day is a vivid, hour-by-hour
recreation of this historic event. Featuring a stellar international
cast, and told from the perspectives of both sides, it is a fascinating
look at the massive preparations, mistakes and random events that
determined the outcome of one of the biggest battles in history. Winner
of two Oscars (Special Effects and Cinematography), The Longest Day
ranks as one of Hollywood's truly great war films.
